Seaport District / Boston, MA

Hospitality/Retail

Integrated at Work (IAW) completed a raised access floor project for The Social Register, a restaurant within the A Loft Boston Seaport Hotel. Located on the first floor of the 13-story hotel, the upscale restaurant and lounge offers two bar areas, seating for 200, and is situated just across the street from the Seaport’s popular outdoor summer space, Lawn on D.

IAW furnished and installed over 5,000 square feet of TecCrete 1250 Bare Concrete 1” thick panels. With a finished floor height of 18” off depressed concrete slab, our raised flooring system was the perfect solution for increasing sightlines and accommodating the plumbing for this hospitality space.

For this fashionable and high-performance space, IAW recommended using a decorative floor finish application especially designed for heavy traffic commercial use. Wicanders’ integrated cork underlay serves several purposes: (1) reinforces thermal and acoustic properties, resulting in a silent environment and important energy cost savings; (2) provides superior comfort, noise reduction and warmth; and (3) achieves a decorative, natural veneer that authentically complements the vibe of the space.

AT&T

Boylston Street / Boston, MA

Office, Hospitality/Retail

AT&T recently underwent a brand evolution including a new expression of the company’s retail stores. According to the architect, CallisonRTKL, AT&T’s current mission is to humanize the technology shopping experience, so customers naturally approach and engage with their latest products and services. Integrated Interiors (II) was selected to help bring this vision to life for the flagship store in Boston’s Back Bay, as well as several other locations in Massachusetts.

For AT&T Back Bay, II procured and installed over 5,000 SF of TecCrete raised access flooring. TecCrete offers several multifaceted solutions for retail space. The concrete and steel composite panels and pedestal system create a solid sensation underfoot for a very walkable surface for customers. Highly versatile, TecCrete panels allow for a wide variety of flooring applications and finishes. For AT&T the design team chose a combination of bare panels finished with field-applied clear stain or panels covered with carpet tiles. The panels with carpet were installed at a subtly depressed height creating a flush, smooth transition between the mixed materials, offering a modern look and feel, and providing an additional layer of comfort for standing customers.

Unique challenges for this job included delivery and install during a wicked nor’ester, and finishing the project in time for the Boston marathon – II was successful on both!
